Ji Changying was a little confused by the laughter. She looked at Chuan Qiong, touched her nose and walked away.
"I see you're too idle. I'll give you one cup of tea to clean this place up."
When Chuan Qiong heard this, he was shocked and went to work with a bitter face.
Xie Siheng invited Jiang Qianruo and the others to rest in a teahouse nearby, and then ordered someone to bring a new carriage.
There were a lot of people in the teahouse, all of whom had come out to join in the fun. When they saw the Black Feather Guards clearing the way for them to come in, the originally noisy teahouse suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Ji Changying and her friends were arranged to stay in a private room with the best view and the largest room in the restaurant.
It was not until they entered the private room that the group felt a little relaxed. The Zhou family had never seen such a lively scene before, and they immediately couldn't help but stick their heads out of the window to look at the Beiyan team below.
"Hiss! This car can't be made entirely of gold? How much does it cost? My life has not been lived in vain. I've finally opened my eyes."
Zhou Liu and the others couldn't help but gasp when they saw the carriage slowly moving on the road.
It's true that if you live long enough, you can see all kinds of precious things. Such valuable things are just walking around the streets without any fear of being robbed!
Her four daughters-in-law were also excitedly discussing: "I guess if we deducted a corner of this, it would be enough for us to eat and wear for the rest of our lives. They are really rich!"
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen such a big carriage. It's as big as a small house!"
"Look at the gem on the top, it's shining!"
"And there are blue flowers on the little car following behind! I've never seen that before!"
······
At the window of the private room next to them, a maid glanced at them with disdain and anger, then turned around and closed the window, blocking out the annoying sound.
"What is it?"
In the room, a graceful and elegant young lady with a charming demeanor was looking at her maid with a frown.
Tingxue pursed her lips in anger, "Miss! The people from the Criminal Investigation Department are too overbearing. They invited us here right away, but the ones next door are just a bunch of village women! They don't take our Cui Guogong Mansion and our Cui Guifei seriously! They just rely on that person in the palace to be here..."
Cui Yanwu put down the tea in his hand heavily, and Tingxue's anger seemed to be extinguished by the water, and she immediately fell silent.
"When you get home, copy the family rules ten times, and write the words 'be careful with your words and actions' a hundred times. Come on!"
The maid on the other side of Cui Yanwu immediately stood up.
"Watch her and check after she finishes. I'm going out for the time being so she doesn't need to follow me."
Tingxue's face turned pale. Lai Xiao glanced at her expression and bowed his head respectfully before answering, "Yes!"
"If you still can't learn, you don't have to follow me anymore."
Cui Yanwu spoke in a gentle tone, and the expression on her face didn't even change.
But Tingxue knew that her girl was angry, and she was serious!
Tingxue knew that she had violated her master's taboo. She stammered twice and replied in a low voice: "I know my mistake and will never do it again!"
Mrs. Hu in the private room next door had a worried look on her face and had no mood to look down. She just sat there with her lips pursed and said nothing.
Jiang Qianruo looked at Hu and said gently, "Were you scared just now?"
Mrs. Hu moved her lips and said, "To be honest, I am just a woman and I don't understand any great principles. Please forgive me if I said something wrong."
"We just arrived in Beijing when this happened. A group of people were thrown to the ground, and my son's wrist was broken. It would be a lie to say I wasn't scared. I won't achieve anything great in my life, so I just hope my family can be together in peace."
These words attracted the attention of Ji Fengyi, Zhou Yidao and the others.
Ji Fengyi didn't expect her to be so bold all of a sudden and actually complain to the Queen. He stood up and took two steps forward nervously.
Jiang Qianruo didn't look angry. She turned and looked at Huang Lao: "Brother, how many people were injured? Are they serious?"
Old Huang snorted and pointed at Ma. "About four or five! The most seriously injured is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. She can't even move her arms! But I've checked her out and given her medicine. She'll be fine after a month or so of rest."
Ma didn't expect that Mr. Huang would suddenly call her, and everyone was looking at her.
Ma's face flushed red as she hid her arms behind her back, waving her hands repeatedly: "I'm fine, it's nothing serious."
Jiang Qianruo stepped forward to straighten her body, took a look at the wound, and his face darkened.
After a moment's thought, he said, "You two can go to the other courtyard to rest first. I'll go back to the palace first."
"I'll go with you!" After not seeing each other for many years, Mr. Huang also wanted to see how much Zhongli Che had changed.
By the way, it also means to support Jiang Qianruo.
Since they were going, Tang Qingfeng naturally couldn't fall behind and had to go with them.
He had to take advantage of the presence of his uncle to appease the emperor's anger so that the emperor would forget the last time he helped the empress leave the palace.
By the time Xie Siheng came to invite them to get in the car, Beiyan's convoy had already gone far away.
Xie Siheng sent Chuan Qiong to take them to the villa, while he escorted Jiang Qianruo and the others back to the palace.
Sitting back in the carriage, Mrs. Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's better for us to be together."
"I'm all the same." Zhou didn't feel any difference.
She feels at ease wherever she goes.
Ji Changying's mind followed the swaying carriage, and she recalled the letter Xie Siheng had written to her before.
At that time, she was a little confused as to why he told her about the situation of those people in Beijing, but now she probably understood.
Perhaps because the current emperor does not care much for women, he has five sons and one daughter, including the eldest princess who has passed away.
Compared with other emperors, his offspring were not numerous.
The eldest son and daughter are born to the same mother, the Empress.
When the eldest son was five years old, the emperor made him the crown prince. Unfortunately, he died young and passed away due to an illness eight years ago.
The second son, Prince Ping, was born on the same day as the crown prince. Because of his mother, he was not favored by the emperor. As soon as he came of age, he was sent to Liangzhou by the emperor to guard the border.
The third prince, Prince Yi, was born to a daughter of the Duke of Cheng. He is currently the Defei in the palace and is one of the strong contenders for the throne.
The fourth prince, Prince Zhuang, had a mother of humble origins, originally the daughter of a merchant. However, his grandfather, Jia Youliang, had a sharp eye and invested all his belongings in advance to bet on the current emperor.
When one person succeeds, his family will all benefit. After the emperor secured his throne, he used their previous relationship to send his daughter to the palace to change his family's status.
Of course, he was successful. His daughter is now Concubine Lan in the palace. The whole family has benefited from it, and all his descendants have left the business world.
Jia Youliang was also granted the title of Yongle Earl. Although he had no real power, he had some face in the eyes of the emperor.
The Jia family also has some business acumen and is very good at scheming. Over the past few decades, the family business has been thriving.
